A new breakdown of earthworm DNA could help us better understand how evolution works, and it could prove Darwin completely ...

Earthworms’ Genomes Broke The Rules of Evolution And Could Prove Charles Darwin Wrong, Claims Study Analysis of DNA from ...

Chunks of flipped DNA appear to accelerate evolution in fish. This discovery could reshape our understanding of how ...

Worms radically reorganized their genomes during their move from sea to land, supporting the theory of punctuated equilibrium ...

Evolution is a gradual change to the DNA of a species over many generations. It can occur by natural selection , when certain traits created by genetic mutations help an organism survive or reproduce.

For decades, scientists have studied animals living in or near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to see how increased levels of radiation affect their health, growth, and evolution. A study analyzed ...

In some ciliates, the DNA sequences of the germline genomes have been profoundly modified during evolution, providing unprecedented examples of germline DNA malleability. Although the significance ...

A lost chapter in human evolution has been revealed after an analysis of modern DNA found that we come from not one but two ancestral populations—ones that drifted apart and later reconnected ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread ...
